Tenants you have the right to a healthy living space.  Secondhand smoke is much more than a nuisance - it is a serious health risk.  Protect yourself and your family.

Make your home smoke-free.  Pledge your commitment by signing a smoke-free home pledge.

Certain areas of your building should already be smoke-free under the Nebraska Clean Indoor Air Act.  Common areas or any general use areas of rental properties must already be smoke-free including entry or exit areas, lobbies, restrooms, laundry rooms, elevators, gyms, indoor swimming pools, or any other common traffic area.  If you have questions regarding the Nebraska Clean Indoor Air Act and/or its enforcement, please contact Douglas County Health Department at (402) 444-7485.

Talk to other tenants about the possibility of making your building smoke-free.  Resources are available to help you organize your effort.  Many tools are available through this website, but please contact us if you need more information or help.
